Landscape design and planning focuses on creating livable communities that sustain ecological function; fulfill human aspirations for community development, public health, and safety; and are artistically evocative and meaningful. Core courses in design and planning introduce students to the history, theory, and practice of landscape design and planning at various geographic scales and in diverse settings. Students create integrative, collaborative, and beautiful designs for regions, communities, and sites to conserve ecosystems services and water and air resources, protect biodiversity, and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. DRAFT Program Delivery This program is available: classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face) DRAFT Admission Requirements A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following: 2.80 already admitted to the degree-granting college 2.80 transferring from another University of Minnesota college 2.80 transferring from outside the University For information about University of Minnesota admission requirements, visit the Office of Admissions website. DRAFT General Requirements All students in baccalaureate degree programs are required to complete general University and college requirements including writing and liberal education courses. For more information about University-wide requirements, see the liberal education requirements. Required courses for the major, minor or certificate in which a student receives a D grade (with or without plus or minus) do not count toward the major, minor or certificate (including transfer courses).

Accelerated Program The accelerated status option admits a limited number of students annually and allows qualified undergraduates to complete the B.E.D. and M.L.A. in six years rather than seven years. Applicants for the accelerated status must complete the first three years of the B.E.D. degree requirements before their senior year. Students must complete the first year of the professional degree program in their undergraduate senior year. These courses carry upper division credit and satisfy senior year B.E.D. requirements. Accelerated status is granted on a competitive basis and does not admit any student to the graduate professional program. Separate requirements, such as letters of recommendation, a letter of interest, and other application documents, must be submitted in January of the year that students are seeking admission to the graduate program. B.E.D. graduates who have completed the accelerated status option and applied to the M.L.A. professional degree program will receive advanced standing in the M.L.A. program upon acceptance by the Department of Landscape Architecture and the Graduate School.
